Nowadays, consumer preference and management strategy are equally fluid and dynamic, and so we have developed similarly sophisticated solutions for retail, just like Sat Navs - but for management”.

Or just focus on the one “big win” opportunity - depending on the context.

Algorithms learning from massive amounts of data, combined with management’s intelligence and human intuition Tweet This, an unprecedented combination that yields far more effective results than algorithms alone used to do. The effectiveness of the Evo Pricing approach has been proven scientifically through research with prestigious universities, such as Harvard and MIT.
